Re: Performance Muffler

Yeah the only problem about this whole thing is my dad is a mechanic and hes the one that inspects my car and everything. He's kinda strict about that cause he doesnt want to lose his shop. So i dunno if that would fly with him.

I was mainly just asking if anyone has ever had any experience with that magnaflow performance muffler:

Any opinions?

I have the same muffler, but my whole exhaust is part of his complete setup with the addition of the Aero Turbine AR20 resonator. Sounds pretty smooth.

Do you think just the muffler would be worth my money just to get the smooth sound or would i need basically the entire exhaust? I'm not too worried about performance i just want my car to sound good

...for now

Re: Performance Muffler

It depends on your current condition of your other exhaust pieces. I had a nasty resonation coming from my precats before Ichanged the exhaust.

It would buzz at around 1500 rpm. Once I got the magnaflow pieces it was pretty good sounding but that buzz was still there.

I have a sound clip of my car with the current setup. I imagine just the muffler alone would sound similar but quieter than what I have since you'd be running on stock resonator, precats and single cat.

This setup is precats replaced with 2 -AR20 resonators going into 1 Magnaflow 2-in-1 highflow cat, magnaflow resonator and 1 magnaflow single in dual out muffler.

The video itself is bad but the audio is a good representation.

Re: Performance Muffler

Hmm, i really like the sound of that.

How much did you pay for your entire setup?

Re: Performance Muffler

The original setup was about 300. I got it from Duckie on the network when he was selling it off to go with an exhaust for his supercharging plans.

It was:

The muffler
hi-flo cat
resonator
2 tips

It cost me about $400 to get the piping and bending done with Mufflex (a local performance shop). They were on the expensive side but they used mandrel bends and did a very good job with it.

The AR20's go for about 60 a piece, but I traded some things with Tom to get them.

Basically he dropped Harry's rear muffler and cut a 5" by 5" opening in the top of the muffler, about 1" back from the top flange. Once the flap was opened up, exposing the 4 exhaust tubes, he cut out the sections of all 4 tubes in the middle and welded it back up.

The mod increases the sound, and flow of the factory muffler, (in that order) and DOES give the exhaust note more bite. And the price is very low, no new tubing or exhaust tips.

Maybe Harry can tell you himself. He seems to like it a lot.

Yep, I like it a lot! But Tom did a bit more from the headers to the back of the car ..
